Owen couldn't sleep, so he sat on the cabin porch and stared at his lock screen. He had taken a photo of him with Maisie and Claire two weeks into their new arrangement. They were all happy, smiling broadly after Maisie's first trip to McDonald's. She'd loved the ridiculous little plastic toy she got in her happy meal. It still sat on the ledge beside her bed.

Where was she? When they finally found who took her, Owen knew he wouldn't be able to rein himself in. He was going to kill whoever took his daughter away.

Sitting at home felt so wrong. There was nothing they could be doing out in the world, but getting to be in bed when Maisie was who knows where? Owen hated that this was their life. He had to put an end to it.

While Claire tossed and turned in their bed inside the trailer, Owen made a note in his phone. It was rough, but it was a plan.

At six in the morning, after falling asleep on the unfinished wood of the cabin porch, Owen pulled splinters from his clothes and returned to the trailer. Claire was already up making coffee in their miniscule kitchen. One of the most important things in the cabin, aside from separate bedrooms for them and Maisie, was a large kitchen. Some of Lockwood's dirty money would go towards the best appliances.

"Did you sleep outside?" Claire asked.

Owen kissed her cheek. "Not on purpose."

"You know the Compsognathus could devour you as a midnight snack."

"I tossed some chicken breasts to occupy them."

Claire rolled her eyes. "You need to be more careful."

"I'm fine, Claire. See?"

Owen spun so Claire could inspect his body. Aside from wood stuck in his flannel pajama bottoms, he appeared unscathed.

"I'm just saying, I don't want anything to happen to you…"

He kissed her lips this time. "I love you."

"I love you, too." She sipped her coffee. "What were you doing out there, anyway?"

Owen held up his phone. "I made a plan. Two plans, actually. One that we'll actually follow and one we'll tell InGen about when they call."

A soft knock on the door interrupted them. Owen checked out the window to find Karen and the boys waiting to be let in.

"Good, you're up," Karen said. "We couldn't sleep, so we came by to help."

Owen and Claire had wanted to start the search alone since they knew Blue wouldn't be where she was last spotted. After the T-Rex incident, they were glad they made that choice.

"How did it go yesterday? Any sign of Blue?" Zack asked.

Owen and Claire shared a look. "No," Owen told him. "We did meet the T-Rex. And her baby."

Karen spit her coffee over the linoleum floor. "Her baby?"

Claire rubbed her sister's back. "He had a tracker. It belonged to Biosyn. With the help of Dr. Grant and the Navy, we sent the baby and the adult to Sorna."

"Oh, thank God," she said. "One less thing to worry about."

If only an ocean's worth of distance was enough for Claire to stop worrying about the T-Rex.

"We have a new plan," Owen said, changing the course of the conversation. "The mom and baby actually made me think of it."

Claire, Karen, Gray, and Zack sat around the small table and waited for Owen to explain his plan. He opened up the note on his phone and skimmed the notes he made, thankful they still made sense despite being written in the middle of the night.

"The T-Rex came after us yesterday because we got too close to her child. Blue behaves the same way. Any time we were in danger on the island, she came to the rescue. When the indoraptor was attacking us at the estate, Blue was there. I think if we get close enough to her location and make her believe we're in danger, we can lure her out. Then we can get Dr. Grant to help send her to Sorna."

"Owen," Claire said. "We can't send her away!"

"It's the only way she'll be safe!" he shouted. "I don't know what they want with her, but I'd reckon it's going to be bad."

"Uncle Owen, what's stopping InGen from getting her once she's on Sorna?"

Owen knew this was a problem, but he'd considered it. "The air and water spaces surrounding both Isla Sorna and Isla Nublar have always been protected. People have gotten in before, but since Jurassic World it's been nearly impossible. Only the military can gain access. I don't think InGen will be able to get onto the island. Even if they do, they'll never be able to catch her."

The group agreed this was probably true, but Claire didn't like the idea. "Why can't we keep Blue here, with us?"

"She needs to be free to roam around as much as she wants. She'll get that on the island. If she's here, I'll constantly be wondering if InGen is lurking in the shadows ready to capture her."

Claire nodded. Owen loved that dinosaur so much that he was willing to part with her so she'd be safe. Isn't that what Claire wanted to do as soon as Maisie was safe? How could she admonish Owen for doing it with Blue?

She took Owen's hand. "We'll figure it out. Let's focus on finding her first."

Owen explained the rest of the actual plan to the crew over coffee. It would require most of the day, and they had to get InGen off their trail, so they would start the real plan tomorrow, after they exhausted the InGen friendly version.

After they had settled what would actually happen with Blue, Owen, Claire, Karen, and the boys settled into the cabin for cereal and fake discussion. They talked about Zack's college and Karen's promotion at work. They expressed how much they all missed Maisie and wanted her back. Finally, Owen brought up the second note on his phone and told them their fake plan.

"When we were in the woods yesterday, we saw Blue's prints." That part wasn't a lie, at least. "She got into the water, but I know her. I can track where she would have gotten out. I'd guess she stayed in the state park because there's tons of food and a fresh water source. She's smart, so she'd want to be somewhere that has everything she needs. She'd also have a shelter. Once we find that, we'll corner her and shoot her with one of these darts from InGen. Karen, you'll have to stay the farthest away. Blue knows our scents, but she won't know yours. You might scare her off."

"Got it," Karen said. Claire squeezed her hand. She knew her sister would rather stay home than confront the dinosaurs that almost took her children and Claire, but Karen wanted to save Maisie as much as the others. Capturing Blue was a necessary evil to succeed.

"As soon as Blue is subdued, we'll call InGen and turn her over in exchange for Maisie's location."

Everyone nodded, knowing they wouldn't be turning Blue over. In fact, Owen's method probably wouldn't lead them to Blue. She would never let herself be cornered.

"When do we start?" Zack asked. They agreed he would be the one to bring this up.

Owen checked his watch even though they'd rehearsed the answer. "It'll have to be after dark. Raptors like to hunt at night, and then she'll go back to her shelter for eating and resting. We'll start around three in the morning. Does that work?"

"We'll be there," Zack answered.

They ate and talked more to ensure InGen got an earful. As expected, Owen's phone rang less than ten minutes after he'd laid out the 'plan.'

"Hello?" he answered.

"Mr. Grady, how is your search going?"

Owen bit back a laugh. "We ran into some trouble yesterday, but we finally have a solid plan. We'll track Blue while she's hunting and follow her to her lair where we'll subdue her for your guys."

"Excellent!" Dr. Wu responded. "When do you expect to have her?"

"Tomorrow morning."

"Ahead of schedule! I knew you were the people for the job. Call as soon as the raptor is out and we'll bring you Maisie's location."

"See you tomorrow, then," Owen said. He hung up angrily, though pressing a button on his cell phone wasn't nearly as satisfying as throwing down the receiver used to be.

The crew returned to the trailer where they could speak freely, but they were all exhausted and knew they needed to rest up. Karen took the boys home and told her sister and Owen to try and sleep. They were going to have a long night, and probably an even longer day, after they found Blue.

With everyone gone, Claire held up a card to Owen. "What is this?" she asked.

Owen didn't have to study the card for long to know it was the therapist Dr. Grant recommended. "She's apparently a genius," Owen explained. "Alan suggested we consider going to see her."

"I think it's a good idea."

"You do?" Owen asked. Claire had been the first to stop going to therapy in the five years between Jurassic World and the volcano's eruption. He assumed it would be him trying to convince her, not the other way around.

"I do. So I made us an emergency appointment. We have to be there in an hour."

Owen was surprised but knew there was no arguing with Claire once she made up her mind. He showered first then waited for Claire to be ready. Once she was, they climbed silently into her car. Neither knew what to say. They both hoped they'd find their words before the doctor called them in.

They both hoped seeing a therapist would stop the nightmares, but they knew that part was futile. Until Maisie was home, neither of them would have a good night's sleep.

But therapy was a step in the right direction.

The room was dark. So dark that Maisie couldn't even see her fingers when she held them within inches of her face. Where was she?

Her heart rate spiked, causing a machine to beep erratically. Maisie tried to calm herself, knowing the beeping would summon someone in a lab coat and she'd be plunged out of consciousness again, but she couldn't.

"Miss Lockwood," a robotic voice said. Fluorescent lights suddenly lit up the room, burning Maisie's eyes. "We advise you not to struggle."

Maisie didn't know she was struggling until she felt a pinch where cold gloves held her arm. Sticky red liquid flowed from the needle into a bag hung beside the bed. Or was it the other way around?

"What are you doing to me?" Maisie cried, her voice hoarse. She tried to free herself again from the needle, but the man stopped her with restraints around both her wrists.

"We are simply finding your true potential, Miss Lockwood. You should be happy to be a part of what will be the New World."

Maisie sobbed as she tried and failed to escape her cuffs. "I don't want this! You can't test me. I'm not some science experiment!"

The man laughed. Even that sounded artificial, though Maisie knew he was human. She could see it in his cold eyes. Human, but uncaring. He reminded her of Eli Mills. She'd never liked him, and it turned out she was right to distrust him. She trusted her instincts when it came to the man before her, too.

"You already were a science experiment, Miss Lockwood."

She knew that was true. She hated her grandfather for it, but she had accepted it. Claire and Owen loved her even though she was a monster like the dinosaurs who attacked them!

Claire and Owen. How long had it been since she'd last seen them? They were likely worried sick about her! She knew they would come for her. They wouldn't let these monsters turn her into a lab rat.

That thought settled Maisie. The beeping slowed to a steady pace then stopped altogether. Maisie guessed it only went off when her heart was too fast or too slow.

The quiet was eerie. She longed to work herself up again if only for the comfort of sound.

"Good girl, Miss Lockwood. It won't be much longer now. You have been an excellent patient. Your body is reacting better than we expected."

What did that mean? Maisie tried to ask the robot man but she lost her words. Her mind was clouding over and her body ceased to move.

It was only then that Maisie noticed another needle in her arm, this one connected to a syringe plunged deep. A sedative, she thought. She'd learned a lot about medicine from the books at her grandfather's estate.

Not enough, though, to know what the blood bag connected to her arm was doing, and how important it was for her to stop it.

If only she weren't falling into yet another deep, sedative induced sleep. She might have been able to figure it out before it was too late.
